Here’s an email to me from Keith S. Schuerholz, the Parking Services & Transportation Liaison at the Oakland Department of Transportation. “The city's current policy is not to tow vehicles in which people are living in as their homes.” So now we know: another law abrogated by the wokes who run this town.
